So they show an guy acting as an Arab with a camel...

DO you know how MANY of these guys I have seen with a camel or a flock of sheep on the side of the roads in various countries across the world?

If I did the commercial, I would have had an Arab in Arabian Robes with a suicide bomber vest on. Instead of filling the vest with explosives and ball bearings, it would be filled with coke. The tag line would be "Coke, it's explosively refreshing. Enjoy one with a virgin today."

There was a viral ad a few years ago - I think it was for volkswagen - that featured a a suicide car bomber. The ad was meant to show the level of safety in whatever model was feature. It basically showed the suicide car bomber park in front of a crowded area and then detonate his explosive vest. All that happened was the inside of the car and windows were painted red with blood/guts/etc, but the car remained perfectly in tact and everyone was safe.
